Shakey's

Well I love it. A kind of perfect middle ground between Club 27 and like the Vault, less bourgeois than the latter, less hardcore than the former. The tables are good. I only know one of the bartenders but she's an absolute pro (Kara, if mgmt is listening). If you play pool or enjoy drinking, do yourself a favor and check it out. Also, not for nothing, but it's by far the most beautiful sunset-mountain view in town.

Always a good time. If nothing else is going on in town, or even if it is, you'll always find a good time here. Great people and GREAT staff.

Bar tender charged me twice for drinks then got upset when I continued to try to tell him. Then he asked if I’m from Haiti and said I looked like someone from congress because they are black. As a black person, this was pretty weird and rubbed me the wrong way.

It’s a super fun bar you can hit up for a night out in Asheville. Definitely more for a younger crowd.

THANK heavens that shakeys is OK. Please bring your grindr + tinder dates here, to stimulate the economy. I’m not kidding.

Will never come back. Was removed from the bar because a woman who HAD to go to the bathroom and was in a hurry to do so. Got upset when I turned around and said “wait, in line like everybody else”. She had some rude comments to say back, so I defended myself with my words, and she thought it was cool to throw a drink in my face. I walked away at that moment, and the bouncer walked up to me to remove me. I was not belligerent, trying to instigate anything, or even intoxicated to a level that I should’ve been removed. The door guy asked me to leave, so I left. Oh, and the band guys that played the night off 2/16/24, I hope y’all can see this, all of you are weak, and boys. Trying to start a fight outside, looks real cool. I was one man, and there was 5 of you all at one point in my face. None of you did anything. Y’all were scared, y’all will absolutely never go anywhere playing in a bar like shakeys. I’ve seen y’all play there a few times before, so clearly you can’t get any other gigs. If you support free speech, do not go to shakeys. They will remove you for being a free thinker/speaker, or even just defending yourself verbally. Poor display of professionalism, and a bunch of punks work there that could care less if I was assaulted by a woman who had to urinate before me. Will absolutely never go back to shakeys, and that is unfortunate, it is a cool bar

Best bar in Asheville! Except the “bartender” with the cap on that made my pizza. You can tell that she just didn’t want to be there. Made our pizza and just left it at the bar without caring who it was for. Not sure why you’re working there if you hate your job. Other than that, the other bartender with the tattoos was great! Always with a smile and answered everything with all the charm in the world.

Super awesome bar with a dance stage, pool tables, foosball, an outside smoking deck, and plenty of booths/seating. Tons of parking and staff was great. Can’t wait to come back!
